Desert Ranch House tucked into Nature's Beauty all around!

Come visit the best of the glowing and amazing Arizona desert. Tucked in the quiet scenery of Tonto National Forest and surrounded by saguaros & desert goodness, this house on 1.25 acres is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. Soak in the warm sun while enjoying the easy access to trails for biking, running, and hiking. There are also neighboring horse stables to tap into your inner cowboy or cowgirl. At night, kick back under the open sky of stars while roasting s’mores by the fire pit. The house is equipped with a Starlink satellite so even though you are out in nature, there isn’t a lack of connection

We chose this property because we were in the area to ride the trails with our UTVs and needed a place that was large enough to house our trailer. This place fit the bill! The listing was accurate, with the exception of them adding an actual bed to the last bedroom instead of an air mattress, which was a welcome surprise and perfect since it was 4 guys who each needed their own bed. The amenities were fine for everything that was needed for our stay. The only bad thing was that the AC was not working and it was in the 90s for a couple days of our stay, so got quite warm inside. Had to open the windows to cool it down at night time.Felt like a safe area and out of the hustle and bustle. Close proximity to get to Walmart for groceries and restaurants nearby. Would stay here again if we are back to ride.

Desert Ranch Stay

Property was exactly as advertised. Somewhat remote, very clean, comfortable. The backyard was very large and out dog loved it. Michael was very responsive and flexible as we asked for an early checkin which he agreed to. Definitely would stay there again.

I loved everything about our stay here. Didn't know what to expect since I've never rented an air b&b, but literally you just have to bring what you want to eat and drink here. Everything else was provided. this was completely tucked away and private, yet super close to the renaissance fair, which is why we went, and shopping if that is why you go. I will most definitely stay here again!!! Thank you for making our weekend so great.

Comfortable and relaxing

We had an extended stay of 4 weeks at the desert ranch house. It was a nice to have a comfortable and relaxing place to return to after a long day at work. We had everything we needed to make us feel at home. We didn't always have the ability to watch t.v. and the internet connection was spotty. Our host Michael went out of his way to accommodate our needs and made it easy for us to communicate with him when needed.

Saved Our Vacation

We contacted Nathan on VRBO to see if his Desert Ranch Home was available after we had stayed one night at a terrible place. Nathan said he had to clean his place and said that he would have it ready at 7, he had it ready two hours early. The house is in a great location for hiking and views. It was clean neat and we really appreciated the welcome basket as we hadn’t had a chance to go to the store before arriving. Each bedroom had its own charm and personality. The beds were clean and comfortable and there were plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The kitchen was well stocked with all that we needed and there was a stash of Kirkland spices and a nice sampling of coffee pods. The bathrooms were clean with more than enough towels, new hairdryers and Kirkland shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We had a great time playing cards outside on the patio. The table and other patio furniture was comfortable and clean. The birds and rabbits were fun to watch, wish we had seen the owls, maybe next time. The TV and internet worked perfect and there was a huge selection of puzzles to work on in the office closet. Nathan’s home was so welcoming and comfortable that we would want to stay there on our next visit.
